But the next second, she took out the same water gun as Bai Yue from the water and launched a counterattack with a series of "biubiu" sounds.
As the sun set, the crowd cheered, and even Jade and Amber smiled, not wanting to spoil their master's mood.
Until night fell.
Around the campfire.
Bai Yue ate the last skewer of meat taken from the wild game she had caught on the spot, then lazily lay down on Amber's lap, receiving Jade's attentive service.
His head was next to Liz, who had already eaten her fill. She was lying on Shining's lap, staring blankly at the campfire.
"Shining, will such good times ever come again?"
Startled to hear her own name, Shining looked down, only to see her own thunderbolt, completely oblivious to Liz on her lap. Seeing the silent laughter emanating from beside her, she rolled her eyes at him and asked softly:
"Liz, have you remembered something?"
"Mom, what are you thinking about?"
"Heh...it's nothing, go to sleep. I'll keep watch over you. Sleep peacefully."
"Hmm~"
......
Under the blue sky, the wheat fields swayed gently, and a young girl wore an intricately woven flower wreath, her smile as precious as a gem.
On the plains, pack animals graze in herds, and the ground is covered with small yellow flowers that appear from afar but are not visible up close. The wind in the wilderness bends the tender grass low, and the girl's eyes become a painting of stars.
High mountains, basins, snow-covered regions, seas of sand... until...
A dark, gloomy cave.
Liz released Bai Yue and Shining's hands, turned around and laughed with her hands behind her back. Her eyes were clear and untroubled. She said, "Shining, Dr. Bai, see you tomorrow."
She turned and walked towards the stone platform, where flowers sprouted from her feet, and in the blink of an eye, the dark cave was transformed into a fairytale world.
She took a step, she sat down, she lay down on the soft bed of flowers.
She closed her eyes, her hands folded over her lower abdomen, a lingering warmth on her lips, as if even the chill of death could not dispel it.
She said, "See you tomorrow."
See you tomorrow, Liz.
Chapter 140 The prince was forcibly kissed by the princess!
The greenhouse at the Earl's Palace in Chernobog.
"Why aren't you awake yet?"
"Quiet down, quiet down, I'm thinking."
Bai Yue stood beside Liz, her brows furrowed. She would check Liz's pulse and heartbeat, and then drip two drops of life essence onto her head.
Seeing that she still hadn't woken up, Bai Yue licked her lips and calmly said, "The Foundation Dream was completed smoothly, her physical condition is fine, and her self-awareness is stable, so there's only..."
"Only what?" Shining asked, puzzled.
"Hehe." Bai Yue lightly twirled her fingers and said with a smile, "Shanling, do you still remember the fairy tale you told her, the one about the prince and princess?"
"?"
Shining immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and asked with difficulty, "Does your ability have this kind of side effect?"
Bai Yue nodded: "If you ask me, it's probably because my power has been permeating her body and mind for a long time, causing her body to enter a state of pseudo-dormancy. I can't wake her up from this state, but if I give her some extra stimulation, she will most likely wake up from this pseudo-dormancy. How about giving it a try?"
Shining frowned, trying to understand what he was saying, but due to her anxiety, her logic was momentarily confused, and she couldn't quite grasp it, so she asked, "What...what do you mean?"
"Hmph, it means..."
As Bai Yue spoke, he brought his face close to Liz's head, or rather, her lips, and said, "Liz, stop pretending to be asleep. The sun's about to shine on your butt. If you don't wake up soon, I'm going to really kiss you!"
Liz's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she did not respond.
Bai Yue grinned mischievously and leaned forward, but was stopped by Shan Ling.
"Ouch, what are you doing!"
Just as Bai Yue turned around to explain that it was all a joke.
Suddenly, a girl's fragrance wafted over, and her lips were abruptly covered by something soft. The touch was fleeting, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed Liz's bright and beautiful eyes.
!!!
Shining picked up Bai Yue and looked at Liz, who had woken up but was pretending to be confused, and Bai Yue, who was attacked by her and was really confused but also reminiscing.
On one side is my best friend whom I watched grow up, and on the other side is my husband... oops, oops, oops, the hope I've set my sights on.
Ugh... How could this happen!
Shining felt as if her head had been trampled by a thousand pack animals. She wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't say anything. Scold Liz? She couldn't bear to.
Reprimanding Bai Yue?
She planned to stay and work for him in the future, so this was a warning against disrespect! Besides, although he brought his face close, it wasn't a deliberate kiss; it was Liz who initiated it!
Her mouth opened and closed again, but in the end she sighed helplessly. A daughter grows up and leaves home! She looked at Bai Yue, watching him touch his lips where Liz had just kissed him, and murmured:
"Your Highness, how does Liz taste?"
Seeing that she looked ready to cause trouble, Bai Yue immediately launched a counterattack: "Hey, I'm the victim here! I just wanted to scare her, but I didn't expect this. She stole my first kiss today!"
My first kiss today... Ah, what an unfamiliar phrase.
Shining's mind went blank for a second because of the word "thinking," but although he said something so outrageous, it was true that he had just been pulled back by himself, and physically there was no longer any chance for him to commit the crime.
Then she looked at Liz, her face stern, almost as she had treated her in the dream: "Liz, do you know what this means!"
!!!
Liz instinctively showed a timid expression: "I'm sorry, Mom, Liz didn't know. Liz just wanted to sit up. Liz didn't mean to!"
"..."
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar address, Shining fell silent, covering her face with her hands. She felt her face getting hot. Wait, why did Liz bring out the habit from her dream?
"What about me? What about me!"
Bai Yue broke free from Shining's evil grasp and walked back to Liz, pointing at herself and saying, "Then what should Liz call me? Who am I?"
After asking the question, he quieted down, but his face clearly showed an expression of great anticipation.
Liz sat up, tilted her head, and smiled, "...Dr. Bai."
"Hey!" Bai Yue exclaimed in disappointment. He had thought he would be able to be a father in real life. If he had a good daughter like Liz, he would be willing to live in a palace!
But Liz breathed a sigh of relief. What a close call! She almost called him "Dad." Honestly, if she had, how could she ever face her father again... ugh, Dr. Bai!
Even if we don't talk about that, you still can't call her that. If you do, you'll really have to count all the times your mother has to come!
Daddy smells so good, Liz wants to take a bite too!
Pshaw, why are you calling me "Dad" again? That's a bad habit! You have to change it!
At that moment, Lin Guang pushed open the door and walked in.
Upon seeing her, Bai Yue was immediately startled: "Oh my god, Lin Guang, what's wrong with you?"
Although Lin Guang still looked quite good, her deep dark circles and tired eyes betrayed the fact that she was temporarily unwell. However, she was pleasantly surprised to see the three people who had already woken up.
"Did you make it?!"
"Ask her yourself." Bai Yue turned her body to the side, revealing the spot where Liz was sitting.
“Yes.” Liz nodded, moved her legs, and slowly but firmly stood on the floor under Nearl’s 'medical miracle' gaze. She stretched out her hands and smiled, “Nearl, I’m completely healed.”
Then... she took a step, her legs went weak, and she was about to slam her face into the floor.
Bai Yue stepped forward and caught her, saying helplessly, "Don't play like that. Your body is still in the recovery stage, and everything needs to be done step by step."
"Oh."
Liz's voice was compliant, but not obedient. She nestled in Bai Yue's arms, only caring about the sweet scent on his body. Smelling the scent, which was almost identical to that in her dream, she unconsciously squinted her eyes.
But just as she was about to lose herself in the moment...
Shining's wicked hand tightened its grip, grabbing her armpits and lifting her from Bai Yue's arms. She silently placed her back on the medical bed, pursing her lips and saying:
"Liz, you're still young, don't be so willful."
"Liz, it's not that I'm being willful, it's just that my legs are weak." Liz whispered, as if it were really true.
But Shining didn't believe a word of it. Could a healer of Liz's caliber not have assessed her own physical condition? Even if she couldn't, how could that person have fallen into such a comfortable position that it was easy for someone to hold her?
Oh dear, this is so hard to guess.
Nearl stepped forward, wanting to echo Shining's words, and patted Bai Yue on the shoulder: "Liz is indeed... um..."
She looked at the count before her, whose face was shorter and much younger than Nightingale's, and ultimately couldn't bring herself to say those words. In the end, she simply waved her hand.
"Never mind, but I didn't say anything. By the way, Bai, you've been maintaining your abilities for so many days, do you want to eat something? Gu Mi's big pot of rice is freshly cooked, it tastes really good. The cleanup work led by Mud Rock has also made some progress, do you want to go take a look?"
“A communal meal system…” Bai Yue thought for a moment, then nodded: “Let’s give it a try. Everyone needs some experiences in life, and we can also see how well they do their jobs.”
"Yes, they've been busy from morning till night these past few days, they've done their best."
"Oh, all right."
Chapter 141 Preliminary Ideas for the Dimly Lighted Courtyard
Five days have passed.
With the help of Mudrock's Sarkaz squad and five Ursus girls, the ruins around the greenhouse were effectively cleared, creating a large open space.
The originally simple stone road has become much more exquisite, with an almost milky white surface that is incredibly smooth and decorated with many patterns for anti-slip purposes.
A railing, also adorned with exquisite carvings, has been erected along the roadside, but it will disappear after a few more steps, as Niyan is still diligently constructing it.
Stepping onto the solid ground, Bai Yue walked to Ni Yan's side and patted her on the shoulder:
"Hey, mudstone."
"Ugh~!"
Mudstone was startled again. The stone flower she was shaping suddenly changed into an indescribable form. She hugged the hammer, turned around, and lowered her head with a slightly flushed face: "Your Highness, you are awake."
"Hmm." Bai Yue nodded and smiled, "I just had lunch at Gumi's. As for you, why aren't you resting at midday?"
Mudrock held the hammer firmly with both hands and said awkwardly, "Your Highness, shaping building materials based on blueprints is too inefficient, so I have been training in refined spell control, and it has already shown initial results."
Bai Yue leaned to the side, looking at the deformed stone flowers behind her, and said with a teasing smile:
"Initial success?"
Mud Rock also turned around and looked at her 'masterpiece'. Her pretty face instantly turned red to the roots of her neck. She hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, it's just that I was distracted for a moment. I'm sorry, I'll fix it right away!"
Just do it!
She gripped the sledgehammer with both hands, held her breath, and instantly, the stone flower changed again. The petals that were originally stuck together quickly separated, blooming like a real flower.
All done.
Bai Yue stepped closer, gently touched the petals, and smiled faintly: "Exquisite craftsmanship, it seems your training has indeed been very effective."
"hey-hey."
Mudstone chuckled and scratched his head, then looked at the fertile soil beside him, saying with a touch of pride, "Not only that, Your Highness, shaping stone is not my forte; manipulating soil is the direct manifestation of my abilities."
"During the days you were asleep, I came to understand this land. They are all good children. The plants that were destroyed by the fire made them sad, and now they want to nurture some new plants."
"..." Bai Yue tilted her head, asking in surprise, "You can sense the emotions of the soil?"
"Uh-huh."
Mud Rock nodded happily, pointing to the little earthen figures by the roadside, and said, "These are their representatives. They want me to help restore the ecology here. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"Forehead..."
Bai Yue leaned over the railing, looking at the little earth spirit again and again, even using her bewitching magic eye to forcefully command it, but she couldn't sense even the slightest hint of life.
But he didn't think Mudstone was lying. This land was just like that; even the dead could be brought back to life, let alone other strange and wonderful things.
"it is good."
